Every winter since I was a kid, I get Keratosis pilaris [0] on my inner upper arms, which is a bit of a nuisance. After the first day of spring sun in a T-Shirt, it disappears completely within days.

Have you tried irradiating with near infrared light in the winter? Eg with a cheap CCTV IR light off aliexpress.
